We Are Empire

Arise again
Stepping out into the fray
At the end of ends
Searching the dark for the way
Ash to ashes
Hope and fear
Rise and fall
Against the mutineers
Dreams, like flashes, disappear
Vaporize into the atmosphere

How can the world be saved?
They fight to feed these flames
We'll set the past on fire
And rise from the ashes higher
We are empire

Look at what we've done
Everyone's a gun
Got everybody lookin like a target
Go and take your aim
Find someone to blame
Funny how you don't know you're the mark yet
Fire away
Give it all to me
We are not afraid
This is our destiny

When all the love is dead
And all the light is spent
And it's all cast away
And all is jettisoned
I will be there
The rise after the fall
The plans of mice and men
Have gone to dust again
Into oblivion
Into the end of ends
We will be there
To rise after it all

One by one
Back to endfield
One by one
Over all
We were never born to kneel
One by one
Over it all

At the beginning
Back at the end
At the beginning
Back at the end
